Yeah, once you turn off the internet search crap, Ubuntu is pretty comfortably the least terrible desktop Linux distro. I simply don't have the time these days to configure X and everything from scratch, and Ubuntu mostly manages to take care of that for me. Then it gives you a desktop environment which looks a lot like my OS X setup, and is perfectly fine at doing basic things.
